Question 938238
First solve -2x+2y=6 for y.


-2x+2y=6 


2y=6+2x 


2y = 2x+6


y = x+3 ... divide every term by 2


-------------------------------------------------------


Now turn to x+3y=1



x+3y=1


x+3(x+3)=1 ... plug in y = x+3


x+3x+9 = 1


4x+9 = 1


4x = 1-9


4x = -8



I'll let you finish solving for x. Once you have the value of x, use it in y = x+3 to find y.
